Trieste, in April, 1864 (Nissan, 5624)." To the foregoing Sir Moses replied iu a most eloquent speech, expressing his gratification at receiving such a testi monial, inscribed with the names of a thousand of his co religionists. He said that the gift was welcome to him, as a proof that his endeavours had not been fruitless. So far they had indeed been crowned with success ; and though of course it would only be in tht, fulness of time that their complete result would be realised, and though isolated in stances of oppression might yet be looked for, still he had reason to be satisfied, from the best sources of information, that great good had already followed his labours, and that more would continue to bo felt, The address was inscribed in a volume as richly embel lished as it is possible for a book to be. The cover, of purple velvet, is adorned with silver gilt ornaments, studded with onyx, rubies, torquoises, and other precious stenes. In the centre is the coat of arms of Sir Moses executed in enamel. At each of the four corners is a fi gure i n a f rame . T wo o f these figures represent severally Faith and Justice. The rem aining two are allegories of Af r i ca an d A s i a, i n b ot h which quarters of the world the exertions of Sir Moses Moatefiore have been most recently prosecuted—that is to say, in Morocco and at Damascus. The book is further adorned with four panels, enamelled in an Eastern floral style; and it contains views of Trieste and the Holy Land, painted in oil, and also two views of Jerusalem, beautifully executed in water-colours, by Fiedler, the celebrated Aus trian artist.

The Mining Record-office in which is preserved for the use of the public every document which can be obtained having re lation to our extensive subterranean explorations is one of the departments centred in the Museum of Practical Geology which are under the general direc tion of Sir Roderick I. Murchison. The mining and metallurgical interests, sensible of the real value of this office, freely communicate the returns by which Mr R. Hunt is enabled to compile his annual vo lume. In all the continental States yielding mineral produce returns are published at certain intervals, which aro more or less perfect. In every instance such returns are compulsory, and are collected by the officers of the Government in each mining dis trict, who communicate them to a central office. In this country, on the contrary, there is no authority making it compulsory on any mineral proprietor to furnish information ; yet it is in nearly all eases given without hesitation, upon application, and the " Mineral Statistics" issued from our Mining Re cord-office will be found to be more complete than any similar publications in Europe. From this work we are enabled to place the following summary be• fore our readers : COAL.—Of this, the most important mineral pro. duct, we obtained the enormous quantity of 86,292,215 tons, being an increase of more than 4,500,000 tons on the produce of 1862. Our exports of coal in the three last years were as follows ;- 1861, 7,222,718 tons; 1862, 7,672,670 tons; 1863, 7,529,341 tons. Hence it follows that there must have been greatly increased energy in some branches of British manufacture to account for this large con sumption of coal. In 1862 it appears that consider. able quantities were stocked, especially in Lanca shire, and other districts devoted to textile mann. factures ; this does not seem to have been the case last year, the whole being returned as "sold or used." The great extension of coal-mining is shown by the he: that, in 1853, the number of collieries at work amounted to 2.397; whereas, in 1863, the number had risen to 3,180. In the great northern coalfields of Durham and Northumberland we find the production of its collieries has increased from 19,360,356 tons in 1863 to 22,154, 146 tons in 1863 At the same time there has been a decrease of the• quantities shipped to foreign countries and sent coastwise to the extent of 418,163 tons; but the North-Eastern Railway carried out of this coalfield 2,029,803 tons of coal and coke more than it trans• ported in 1862. In the returns given of coal production the quan tities wasted iii " getting" and at the pit's mouth is not stated, It may be inferred that this is very large when we find the coal-trade of the north giv ing in their report the "duff and waste" from their own district is 500,000 tons. Taking this into consideration it is evident that the rate at which the exhaustion of our coal beds is now progressing cannot be regarded as less than ninety millions of tons per annum. IRON.—The iron ore produce of the United King dom amounted to 9,088,060 tons. Of this the Cle veland district in the North Riding of Yorkshire, produced 2,553,806 tons of argillaceous carbonate of iron; Scotland, 1,500,000 tons, principally of black band iron ore ; while Lancashire gove 658,643 tons, and Cumberland 690,974 tons of their remarkable red hematite. This iron ore with about 50,000 tons imported fed 597 blast furnaces, which yielded the following amounts of pig iron : England, 2,451,211 tons ; Wales, 898,829 tons ; Scotland, 1,160,000 tons; total, 4,510,040 tons. 1 This was 566,571 tons more pig iron than we made in 1862. This will account for the extra consump tion of very nearly 2,000,000 tons of coals. COPPER.-Our copper mines have, for some few years exhibited a regular falling off in their rate of production. Two hundred and twenty-two copper mines, of which 190 are in Devonshire and Corn wall, gave 210,947 tons of copper ore, the money value of this being £1,100,554. By smelting this ore we obtained 14,247 tons of fine copper. In ad dition to this we imported from foreign and colonial mines 26,386 tons of copper ore, which gave 4,461 tons of metal, sold at pablic sales; and 70,498 tons of copper ore, producing 17,509 tons of copper, were sold by private contract. Of the foreign ore we im. ported from Chili 25,966 tons, and 18,708 tons of regulus, while Cuba sent us 15,570 tons of ore and 858 tons of regulus. TIN.—We obtained from the tin mines of Corn. wall and Devonshire in the year 1863 a larger quantity of tin than in all probability was ever before produced. The tin ore raised being 15,157 tons, which gave 10,000 tons of white (metallic) ti n . When we remember that the tin mines of our western peninsula have been most industriously worked for more than 3,000 years, this return will convey some idea of the continued richness of this stanniferous district, and of the enormous value of the original deposit. We have recently been made acquainted with some curious facts connected w ith the mode of occurrence of tin in the " lode," or mineral vein. All the old tin mines were shallow workings, and many mines were abandoned at comparatively small depths when the miners " came to the yellows," by which they meant copper ore. The " yellows," as the phrase was, "always cutting the tin." Dolcoath, and many other mines which were worked for tin, passed gradually into copper mines, and were then prosecuted to great depths for that metal. Passing, however, through the copper ore in th e lode, the miners have again come into rich deposits of tin. From Dalcoath mine, at a depth of nearly 300 fathoms, the adventurers obtained last year 1,026 tons of tin ore, worth £69,741. Many other mines are exhibiting precisely the same conditions, and the belief that the ores of the valuable metal tin occur only near the surface is exploded. We imported, principally through Holland and from British India, via Singapore, 2,728 tons of tin and 559 tons of ore and regulus. LEAD.—The lead mines of these islands produced 91,283 tons of lead ore, which yielded 68,220 tons of metallic lead, and 634,0040 z. of silver. Our lead mines are more generally diffused than those of any other metal except iron—the counties producing the largest quantities being,— Lead Ore. Lead. Silver, Tons. Tons. Ounces Durham and Northumberland 22,774 17,205 81,31 . 5 Yorkshire 6,981 9,171 3,270 Denbighshire .. 7,919 6,432 29,797 C a rdiganshire.. .. 7,131 5,661 58,846 Cumberland .. • • • . 6,690 4,949 41,304 Cornwall 6,259 4,270 206,312 There appears to be a regular order in the in. crease of the quantities of silver contained in the ores of lead as we advance towards our southern and western counties. ZINC.—Of zinc ores—" blacic.jack" of the miners, " blende" of the mineralogists—our mines produced 13,699 tons, which, on smelting, gave of metal l ic zinc 3,835 tons. Our zinc miners have, however, much difficulty in competing with the mines pro ducing the ores of zinc on the Con tinent. Compared with those already named, our other mineral treasures are unimportant. GOLD. — In the appendix to the Mineral Statistics we have a complete list of all the mines and col. fifties of the United Kingdom, with the names of the companies or proprietors working them. From this list we learn that there are 23 mines dignified with the names of gold mines in North Wales. We have, however, returns of gold from only two of these, and the total quantity obtained is only 552 ounces, of the value of £1,747. In 1862 Vigra and Ulogan alone produced 5,299 oz. of gold of the value of £20,390. These results, after all the excitement about British gold mines which has been rife during the past four years, leading to the expenditure of very large sums of money upon the hills of Merion ethshire, should read a lesson to our eager adven turere. PR1CE.........4d. STAMPED:....od. The Great Polish Trial at Berlin, The court held its 19th sitting in this case on the 9th inst. Herr Brachvogel requested that hia client, M. Mielencki, should be excused from attendance on the ground of illness, and MM. Lisiecki, Janecki, and Holthoff, referring to a summons which had been sent them to be present at the examination of witnesses in the case at Posen, moved that these witnesses be examined at Berlin, as their duties to their clients would not permit of their leaving that city. Dr Wilkouski was also proposed as counsel for his brother,who is one of the accused. The Court then retired. and returned with the following decision :- 1. M. Mielencki cannot be excused from attendance at the 2. The motion of the counsel for the defence relating to the examination of certain witnesses is rejected, and the witnesses will be examined at Posen whether the counsel are present or not. 3. There is no objection !o Dr Wilkouski as counsel for his brother. Herr Brachvogel then stated, in answer to an inquiry from the President, that M. Mielencki was so ill that it would be impossible to bring him from his cell. The Crown prosecutor now resumed the reading of the documents. The first was an alleged copy (certified to by an Austrian offi cial) of a scheme for the organisation of the insurrection, dated May 2, 1863. Messrs Brachvogel, Elven, Gneist, and Lewald protested against this document being accepted as evidence, as it was merely a copy of a project made, and perhaps fabricated, by an Austrian official, and which, even if it were authenticated, would not supply the smallest proof as to the culpability of the accused, moat of whom were imprisoned before its date. The Crown prosecutor replied that Russia, Austria, and Prussia wore perfectly justified is assisting each other to put down an attempt to restore the Poland of 1772. The document was certified by an official of the Austrian Go vernment, and that should be sufficient proof of authen ticity. After a very animated discussion, the president said that the question had already been settled, and re quested the defence not to return to it. A large number of sentences in former political trials was then read; after which, Messrs. Janecki, Lisiecki, and Deycks proved that it appears from these sentences that most of them were pros nounced on boys for belonging to literary and historical societies, and that the punishment awarded was very small, and would, in schools in Prussia Proper, have simply amounted to a flogging. M. Deycks also observed that as at Berlin, with a quarter of the population of Posen, there were in the year 1860.3 more than twice as many persons sentenced for political offences as in the Grand Duchy, the inference was that the Prussian population of Berlin were very much more turbulent and revolutionary than the Polish population of Posen. The Crown prosecutor ad mitted this, but denied that it was revelant to the matter at issue. On the 10th, after a large number of documents had been read, the witness Wagner was called, who stated that one day M. Guttry requested him to take a bundle of papers to Count Djialynski and bring him a receipt, which he did. The official experts were then called to prove whether cer•• tain Polish documents were in M. Guttry's hand writing, and, after comparing them with two letters addressed by that gentleman to the Commissioner of Justice and the Landreth, declared the handwriting was M. Guttry's. After a sharp discussion between the prosecution and the defence, the latter maintaining that, as the official experts did not understand Polish, they were not qualified to pro nounce on the authorship of a Polish letter, and that this was a case where Polish experts should be called, the Court came to the following decision :—" As the defence denies that the documents in question are in 111. Guttry's hand writing. and puts forward the evidence of the Polish ex perts against that of the official ones, the Court will sum mon the Polish experts as proposed, and also agree to the proposal of the prosecution that the evidence of tne persons to whom the letters are addressed should be taken." The proceedings then closed, and the Court adjourned to the IGth. The Bishop of Capetown and Bishop Colenso. The following are the closing passages of the charge delivered to the diocese of Natal, in the Cathedral of Pieter maritzburg, on May 18, by the Bishop of Capetown This is a widowed diocese, The whole flock is without its pastor. The clergy without their guide, counsellor, friend. The church without its ruler. What are our present common responsibilities? The duty of my office compels me, scdc vacantc, to take charge of this diocese. I have come amongst you for the express purpose of doing so, During the vaceney, the clergy will look to the for in. structioes as to all points of duty. They will hold them selves responsible to one. It is my earne , t desire, my reverend brethren, to render you every assistance in my power, to share your anxieties and labours, to counsel you, and, so far as in one lies, to strengthen your hands in the discharge of the duties of our common ntiuistry. It will not be long ; I trust, before another shall be appointed in the room of him who has fallen from the faith, to till his vacant seat, and witness for Christ and for the faith in this land. "His bishopric shall another take," is the Spirit's rule for the Church in every age. But should there be delay, as, in circumstances which are, happily, of so novel a character, and in which so many and such complicated interests are concerned, may possibly be the case, I shall hold myself in readiness to visit you again, if my other duties will admit of my so doing. Meantime, until another bishop shall be consecrated, I have appointed the very reverend the Dean to act as vicar-general, And I may add, that I have asked J. W. Turnbull, Esq., barrister at-law, to act as registrar ; and have placed in his hands the formal withdrawal of the power of attorney under which the late Bishop administered the property of this Church vested in the see of Cape Town, In conclusion, suffer me, my reverend brethren, to set before you what, amidst your present trials and anxieties, is your duty. To you, and to your conduct in this poet, and at this hour of danger, the whole Church of Christ is looking ; for you it is praying ; nay, from His throne in heaven your Lord looks down and notes how each of His servants comports himself at this crisis in the history of His church. God be praised I ye are yourselves true and faithful to your Lord. It is a ground of deep thankfulness that not one clergyman holding a spiritual office in the whole province—through out this church in South Africa—has been led astray from the faith of Christ by the false teaching that hes been p u t forth. But of you, my brethren, more is expected than this. It is your privilege if ye 80 will, to be Christ 's living witnesses in the land in which your lot is cast ; to stand up for Him and for His truth—for the living word of God, and for the written word of God—against him who has forsaken both. Your trial is far less than His saints have endured in other days. Ye are not called to "resist unto blood, striving against sin." Ye are in no danger of bonds, or imprison ment, or death. Nay, the world, or all that would be re spectable in the world, ignorant and careless though some be—all but the scoffer and the unbeliever—avowedly are on God's side. And the assault upon the faith, on the part of him who was sot over you in the Lord, has not come, as it might have come, in some subtle form, calculated to deceive even the very elect, and requiring the keen and practised eye of the theologian to detect; but it has come in the bare and naked form of a direct assault upon the foundation of all revelation and of all faith, to which even the unlearned cannot altogether shut his eyes. Your first duty, my reve rend brethren, is to witness in this land of your adoption, for Christ and for the faith, once and once for all delivered. My charge to yon is to stand fast in the faith, to quit you like men, to uphold, teach, maintain the good deposit which ye have received, and to hand it on unimpaired to those that shall come after. The first, and next, to regard this sad falling away of your bishop as a solemn call from God to watch more earnestly, lovingly, devotedly, over that portion of the flock which the Chief Shepherd has entrusted to your keeping. Labour amongst them in season and out of season. Pray for them with continual inter cession night and day. Strive to shield them from the arts of the seducer, and to build them up in their meet holy faith. Win for yourselves the rich promise—the glad welcome of your Lord when you shall have finished your coutse—" To him that overcometh will I grant to sit down with Me on My Throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with the Father on His throne." " Well done, good and faithful sbrvant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Realise the fact that unto you Christ entrust the custody of His truth, the keeping of His faith in this land. Be not dismayed though some fall away, or are indifferent, or even should they oppose themselves. Through you, if you are faithful, Christ will maintain His own cause, and bring future good out of present evil, lie allows tempta tion to come upon his people for the trial of their faith, and patience, and love ; but He never suffers anything to befal His church which will not, it it prove faithful, Re turned to it .; good.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION in GEOLOGY and MINE tiALV Cr Yis given by Mr. TENNAN At 149, Strand, W.V. Presentation to Sir Moses Montefiore. In relation to the recent mission of Sir Moses Monteflore, Barcnet, to Morocco, addresses have within the last few weeks been pouring in upon him from every quarter of England where there is anything like a large Jewish con gregation, and the example seems likely to be followed by the congregations of continental cities. One of these de monstrations of admiring gratitude for perseverancein carry ing out an enlightened and benevolent work, was afforded last Sunday by the presentation of a testimonial to the ve nerable baronet, at his marine residence near Ramsgate. The ceremony took place in the presence of a few private friends. The Chevalier de Mapurgo, who had been entrusted by 1,030 of his co-religionists at Trieste to convey the ex pression of their heartfelt thanks to Sir Moses Montefiore, read in Italian the address to which their signatures were attached, and of which the following is a translation:— " ILLUSTRIOUS BARONET— " Whenever the Supreme Disposer of events has decreed, in llis unsearchable wisdom, to try the constancy of the faith in Israel, by causing his people to pass through severe trials at different times and places, He always raised up some mighty champion who, inspired by holy zeal, and trusting in the eternal promise that Israel shall net perish, fought their holy battles and alleviated their sufferings, causing to shine with increased brightness that star which at moments seemed eclipsed. " Our century did not, indeed, seem destined to exhibit new trials of this nature, as by the increasing light of progress that equality between men for which so much blood has been shed, and which cost so many victims in so many ages is, praise bo to God, becoming general. " But if this is so in Europe—and not even in the whole of it, for in some parts that fanaticism which you have so successfully combated still tries to make itself felt from time to time—in other parts of the globe it raises much oftener its threatening hand, particularly is the Mussulman dominions, raging against all who do not profess their faith, but especially against the Israelites, subjecting them to the moat barbarous treatment, threaten ing their dignity as men, their property, and even their lives. " The two principal places which had become notorious in this respect of late years are Damascus and Morocco ; and in both, within the space of about four lustres, a single man, supported by enlightened Governments and assisted by some of his own illustrious co-religionists, was enabled to change the grief of a people into joy and their mourning into rejoic ings. " That gnat and good man were you, Sir Moses Monte fiore—you who, unmindful of toils and difficulties of every sort, crossing seas and traversing steppes and vast deserts in the most ungenial climates, in inhospitable countries, in a rigid season, and at an advanced stage of life, while pea• sassed of a fortune which would have invited one of a loss generous mind to enjoy it, and made him shrink from assum ing unnecessary cares, you, forgetting self, and sacrificing your own ease to the public welfare, hastened to the rescue of your unhappy brethren, who raised their supplications to you from the depth of their despairing soul; and with the help of Divine Providence your intercession was crowned with speedy and complete success, for you had but to show yourself to triumph. " And not satisfied with simply removing the suffering. of the moment, and rescuing the intended victims from the hands of their slayers and persecutors, you succeeded in establishing the general position of the nation for the future on a solid and lasting basis. " Nor to the threatened or persecuted alone did you direct your loving solicitude, but you also visited the capital of the Caliphs. The chief ruler gave you the golden sceptre, and, furnished with a hatti scherif, you repaired several times to the holy city of Soliman, for the purpose of raising also the metal position of our co-religionists in those parts, by educating them, and teaching them handicrafts and agriculture, erecting at a heavy expense temples and schools, hospitals and workshops. For all these things your name has been blessed, in the same venerable place where arose once the Temple of Solomon from the oriental wall, which is still standing from the patriarchal tombs of Ebron, from the illustrious academies of Safteth and of Tiberias. " Bleseed be thou, 0 Moses, all Israel exclaims, blessed be thou who did so much for me, blessed be thou the chosen of our Heavenly Father for this holy mission, Thou hest so splendidly fulfilled it ! " Amidst so much enthusiasm of an entire nation, which is even shared in by Governments :and peoples of other re.. ligious persuasions, how could we, Israelites of Trieste, be silent, zealous as we pride onrselves in being far the wel fare of our nation—we who have had the great joy to pay you homage thrice on your journey for holy purposes, have prayed to God with you in our temples for the happy issue of your magnanimous enterprises, and together with you have thanked Him for having graciously heard us, have decided to invoke every year upon your venerable head all the celestial benedictions by means of our chief pastor in the great temple of God, on the holy day of pardon in its most solemn hour, with a prayer expressly dedicated to this purpose, and decreed by our national representatives. " And now, after your last godly struggle in Morocco, the Israelites of Trieste have decided, illustrious baronet, to give a new and solemn proof of their admiration for you, by perpetuating your illustrious name to future ages, that our children and children's children may bless it in coming generations, as we do now. " They have decided, therefore, to place a commemora tive marble slab in our great common council chamber, on which your acts shall be engraven in letters of gold as the valofous and holy champion of Israel, " In addition to which, knowing that you prize above all things charity, which you exercise so generously, they have decided—' To found a charitable institution, which shall bear in perpetuity the name of the Montefiore Charity FEDERAL ATROCITiES. (From a Correspondent.) I send you a statement of occurrences now going on in the United States, which for barbarity exceed anything within my knowledge. The extracts enclosed are from Louisville (Kentucky) papers of July 20. And for what are these defenceless women and children deported from their homes and placed either in a wilderness at the mouth of the Mis sissippi River (where nothing lives but a lli gators or snakes), orsentoaf sustenance mongaho and n hostile people possibility in the North, with ou t the means of gettin g a ny em ployment? Their attachment to the Southern cause, their refusal to take the oath of allegiance to the infamous des potism of the North, has caused this treatment. Think of refined ladies and tenderly nurtured children being exposed to such horrors. The stories of Russian and Austrian atrocities in bygone days pale beneath the merciless inge nuity of Yankee tortures. Our people wage this war of in dependence upon civilised ideas of war, presuming that the non-combatants should be left in their homes without the infliction of punishment upon them for mere opinion. The Yankee has violated every rule of warfare, an d daily prac tises most horrible atrocities which you do not hear of. I give you an extract from a private letter from Kentucky :-- "Johnston has retired step by step before Sherman until his advance is now near Atlanta, but his course is marked by devastation and death, and his army, daily weakened by assaults of the rebels, is only kept up by constant reinforce ments, and we are all calmly waiting to hear that he is overwhelmed. The acknowledged loss of the army is 40,000 since it first marched againt Dalton. The real loss is far greater. Some of Sherman's officers now say he dares not retreat, as it would be worse than a 'Moscow.' The war is daily assuming a more savage character. If men are killed or robbed by roving bands, perhaps of mere robbers of either army, at once orders are sent here to forward so many prisoners to that place, and they are then hung on the same spot without trial. This has been done twice in four days. Sherman forwarded 249 women and children from their homes to be sent north of the Ohio, utterly desti tute, to go among those who hate them. 29 women and children, refined ladies, came on the 19th, were put in the military prison that night, and forwarded the next day down the Mississippi to the extreme limits of the Gulf of Mexico, to dwell with alligators or to die in the swamps. And the crime of the Southern women was in aiding the rebellion in which their fathers, sons, husbands, and brothers are meet ing this brute in deadly hostility. I send you this slip with their names. My blood boils, and my cry was, oh, that I were a man to meet such dastardly villains, who thus war upon delencel ais women and children! And Christian Eng land, once so ready to rush like a knight errant in aid of the downtrodden, stands quietly looking at these atrocities per petrated against a gallant race for maintaining their inalien able rights against the fanatical descendants of those who murdered Charles I." If this lady had been discovered in writing this letter she 00 would have been sent among the alligators in the wilder• ness. One of the extracts I enclose you is from the regular Administration organ. Tho editor must be a demon. Ho coolly speaks of ladies punished with ouch cruelty as "on a journey for their rights." The facts are horrible, and re quire no comment : "ON A JOURNEY FOR TnEnt R mwrs.'—ln compliance with tho recent oraer promulgated by General Sherman, requiring all disloyal citizens within the limits of his division who were not willing to live under and abide by the laws of the Federal Government, to be sent to a country where they could enjoy free thought, free speech, and free actions, in accordance with their principles and love for the rebellion, the following named persons arrived in this city yesterday evening, under guard, from the front —Mrs Susan Birchfield, Peter G. Birchfield, James T. Birchfield, Nancy E. Birchfield, Mary J. Birchfield, Mrs Eliza Jolly, and Mrs Jane Call, Murphy, Georgia; Mrs Sarah M'Guff, Miss Susan M'Guff, Miss Priscilla M'Guff, and Mrs Mary Braketield, Bradley, Tennessee; Mrs Shoe maker, and Mrs Core and three children, Calhoun, Georgia ; Mrs Sarah Correlle and six children, Hamilton, Tennessee. They wero assigned quarters in the military prison last night, and to •day will be placed on board of transports and sent down the Mississippi river.

About 9 o'clock on the Tuesday nit it witness her.rd loud screams proceeding from the children. - Upon entering witness found his two children, George, wed five years, and Thomas, aged four years, standing in the r oom in a great state of fright. Flames, or rather sheets of fire were coming from the mouth of Thomas. The colour of the flames were blue and white. The boy seemed in dreadful: agony. Dr Latham was sent for. and be used all the knotrn remedies, but without avail. The deceased continued Au insensi ble state until Sunday, when he died. All ths. poisoned bread and butter witness left on the shelf was gor e. Wit.. pees believed deceased had eaten it. The phos• phorus is sold in packets for one penny each.

He had no intention of injuring the children when he put the bread on the shelf. Witness did not get the doctor until next day, Shocking Death from Pho Frances Hill, wife of the last witness, said it was the constant practice of herself and hpr husband to put bread and butter on the shelf for the children. They were in the habit of taking a chair and getting the bread down and eat ing it. The children were never told that poison was in the house.

The Coroner said that before taking such a course h e would first take the medical evidence. Dr. Latham said that the deceased died from poison ing by phosphorus. He believed the parents gave the nom:dies he prescribed. The packet was marked " Poison. Phos phorus paste." The poison used was one of a most dually character. The Coroner having summed up, The Jury, after some deliberation, returned the following verdict—" That the deceased expired from the mortal (11 . . eta of poisoning by phosphorus, and the jurors say that the deceased was killed by accident, and the jurors further say that great censure is due to both the parents for their g; rose carelessness in leaving such poison in the reach of the deceased," A')\11°11 ) - • -.4 14,741 EIVS R Cruelty to a Horse. At the Enfield Petty Sessions, before E. Ford and R. C L. Beven, Esqs., a case of extraordinary cruelty to a horse was tried. The position of the party charged—he being a gen tleman of considerable property and holding a high position in the neighbourhood of Southgate, where his seat (Ic no .vn as " Grovelande") is situate—and the unusually aggr. ►vated nature of the case, caused an extraordinary amount of in terest in the neighbourhood, and tha court was c rowded during the hearing. The following is a report of t p ro _ ceedings . _ John Donithorne Taylor, Esq., was charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Anima is with cruelly Musing and beating a horse on the 28th of July, in the parish of Enfield. Mr Ribton appeared for the prosecution, instn acted by Mr Celam, the secretary of tho society. Mr Big nail ap. peered for the defendant. Mr Ribton, in opening the case, said it was with feelings of extreme regret that he appeared to prosecute a gentleman in the defendant's position in life upon a charge of this nature; but it did sometimes happen that gentlemen allowed their passions to get the mastery of them; and he believed that, when the Bunch had heard the whole of the evidence which would be given before them, they wcaild be led tothe conclusion that a serious aot of cruelty hid been committed. On Friday, the Sth of July, Mr Tayl :a-, the defendant, was driving down Parson's-lane, wi :,h. his daughter—the pony ho was driving being a very quiet one, and one which Miss Taylor was in the habit of driving. The pony had been very frequently driven along the road in question by the lady, who generally called at Colonel Somerset's residence; and on reaching a particular spot the pony swerved on one side, evidently with the intention of going to Colonel Somerset's as usual. Mr Taylor intent diately struck it with his whip; the poor an iluot reared, upon which no commenced besting if, causing the pony to plunge and kick until it released itself from the vehicle. Mr Taylor then got down, and gstlictirg up the reins in his left hand close to the pony's head, cow tomcod beating it about the head in the most cruel manner with the butt-end of the whip. lie continued his brutal cord act for about tt quarter of en hour, beating the pony and It icking it vio lently in the stomach, till it trembled front head to foot with agony, and, in the language of an eye•witnt.ss, "looked as if a bucket of water had been ram wn over it." Those present, cad even Ws own daughter, re. - nonstrated with the defendant, the latter exclaiming, " Oh, papa, don't beat the beast so ; I shall never be able to drive it again." To which ha replied, " ll— your eyes, you are as bad as the pony." Mr Ribton proceeded to state some further particulars of the offence. The summons, ho said, was taken out under the 12th and 13th Vic., chap. 92. 110 trusted the magistrates would administer the law with the same impartiality as if a poor man were concerned. Several witnesses were then examined, who proved they fact stated by counsel. Mr Taylor, in defence, said the witnesses evidently did not understand horses. He had known the pony four or five times want to turn round, and on this occasion it wanted to go into Colonel Somerset's. He then gave it three or four cuts, and it reared ; he afterwards gave it several more cuts on the side of the head, but not ono on the front. He did not consider he used unnecessary violence. Ho could not say how the whip got broken, nor where the butt-end had gone. lie did not think the pony was thrashed half enough yet—it wanted a good thrashing three or four hours a day with a good thick ash stick ! (Sensation.) About a year ago he kept a horse six days and nights without food aad water for punishment, and this foolish society prosecuted him then, but the magistrate laughed at at them, and discharged the case. (Laughter.) Mr Ford (addressing the defendant) said—From the evi dence we are of opinion that your case does come within the statute, and that unnecessary violence was used. But if you think otherwise you can appeal, and the penalty will be fixed at 40s and the costs, to enable you to do so. Defendant—l don't think it worth the tr6uble. I quite concur in your decision. DEATII INA DIVING APPARATUS.—An inquest was held on board her Majesty's ship St. George, at Fal mouth, on Saturday afternoon, on the body of Samuel Warren, aged 24, a seaman and diver belonging to that ship, who was suffocated on Friday afternoon while diving in Falmouth harbour. The deceased had previously been diver on board her Majesty's ship Cambridge. Ho went down from a boat between two and three o'clock on Friday afternoon in thirteen and a half fathoms of water, at the spot where the St George is lying, for the purpose of re covering a set of boat's crutches that had been lost from the St. George. He selected his own attendants for the occasion from the ship's company, and arranged with them the signals, which were to be "one pull less air," " two pulls more air," " three pulls to come up. About halt a minute after he was down he signaled for more air, and more was pumped down. Warren then walked about one fathom and a half, there being about 15 fathoms and a half air pipes cut, when he signaled to come up. The pulling up was :mine.. diately commenced. He had been about four minutes down an d h e put his right h an d across and the boat's crew were about two m inutes in p ullin g him up. The mouthpiece of the dress was taken off before h e was taken into the boat, his mouth.

The diving dress was a new one, which the deceased had borrowed from the Falmouth Dock Company It was found on examinati on t h at the a i r pipe . had buret at about nine fathoms from the helmet, and that the valve for the outlet of loul air was fastened. This had occasioned an extra pressure on the tube, and hence the ac cident. Means wore resorted to for more than an hour to restore the deceased, but without any apparent result. Thu jury returned a verdict "That deceased was suffocated by overpressure of air while diving, in consequence of the escape valve of the diving apparatus being set, and that no blame attached to any one except the deceased himself." — Western _Morning News.
